Will be further described below the structure of digital camera 1.Fig. 3 be illustrated in digital camera 1 during the shooting facing to the structure on photographer's the dorsal part.On the dorsal part of as shown in Figure 3 digital camera 1, be provided with display 9 and one group of action button 8G.8G comes input operation signal and/or the information about taking by this group action button.Display 9 for example is embodied as LCD, and shows the information the image that obtains such as the image that is formed by imaging lens 31 with by shooting.
In digital camera 1, accommodate electronic unit (not shown) and optics (not shown), to carry out various functions.Particularly, the element that is held for example comprises: control circuit, this control circuit are configured with the driving with control digital camera 1 such as CPU; Such as the solid-state imaging sensor of charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) (CMOS), this imaging sensor is set is used for the image that is formed by imaging lens 31 is carried out opto-electronic conversion; Store the flash memory of image information and various programs; Carry out the microphone and the loud speaker of the input and output of sound respectively; And drive circuit, this drive circuit drives each functional part under the control of control circuit.Digital camera 1 also comprises the connecting interface that is used for USB terminal, DC input terminal etc.In addition, digital camera 1 can be configured to like this, that is: can be on digital camera 1 attached secondary storage medium (not shown) such as storage card.
Slide mechanism according to the lens barrier of this execution mode will be described below.Fig. 4 is the exploded perspective view according to the slide mechanism of the lens barrier of this execution mode (being designated hereinafter simply as " slide mechanism ").Lens barrier 5 in the slide mechanism 100 shown in Figure 4 comprises outer baffle 51 and Internal baffle 52.Internal baffle 52 has the surface area littler than outer baffle 51, and when when the outside is seen, Internal baffle 52 is hidden in (for example referring to Fig. 1) under the outer baffle 51.Therefore, even when Internal baffle 52 must form abnormity (ill-shape) owing to the form of case member 2, outer baffle 51 also can make Internal baffle 52 can't see in the outside, thereby can increase the design freedom of digital camera 1.Thus, can design digital camera with infeasible unique shape aspect traditional mechanical.
Outer baffle 51 can separate from Internal baffle 52.For example, make by magnetic metal and when going up attached magnet, outer baffle 51 is separated from Internal baffle 52 when Internal baffle 52 at the inner surface of outer baffle 51 (that is, when outer baffle 51 is attached to Internal baffle 52, the surface that contacts with Internal baffle 52).Optionally, outer baffle 51 can be screwed on the Internal baffle 52 from the outside.In addition optionally, outer baffle 51 and Internal baffle 52 can be configured to like this, that is: outer baffle 51 can be by being assembled on the Internal baffle 52 against Internal baffle 52 slips from upside or downside.When with outer baffle 51 when Internal baffle 52 separates, the user can be transformed to outer baffle 51 preferred another outer baffle of shape and design consideration mood.
Fig. 5 is the stereogram of Internal baffle 52, expression and surperficial facing surfaces (that is, when Internal baffle 52 is attached to main body, facing to the surface of main body) shown in Figure 4.On the surface of Internal baffle shown in Figure 5 52, be provided with two rail-like cam grooves 521 and 522. Cam path 521 and 522 is almost parallel and guide the sliding motion of lens barrier 5 each other.Cam path 521 receives an end of attachment 10, and cam path 522 receives an end of attachment 11. Cam path 521 and 522 bottom surface separately forms easy curve along the bearing of trend of each cam path, thus lens barrier 5 can along the surface smoothing of case member 2 move.
Because playing the cam path 521 and 522 of the guide rail effect on lens barrier 5 slips institute edge is formed on the inner surface of Internal baffle 52, even therefore when making lens barrier 5 miniaturizations, also can not be exposed at the outside of digital camera 1 as the cam path 521 and 522 of a slide mechanism part, thereby digital camera 1 seems very attractive in appearance.
Fig. 6 represents the structure of above-mentioned attachment 10 and 11.Wherein attachment 10 have the base portion 101 that is fixed to holding member 6 with screw 12, and along the tabular contact site 102 that stretches out and contact with cam path 521 with the vertical direction of the bearing of trend of base portion 101.Be penetrated with two hole 102a and 102b in the marginal portion of contact site 102.Hole 102a and 102b are used for keeping respectively an end of two shaft-like rollers 14 and 15 (will describe in detail its structure in the back). Roller 14 and 15 is with attachment 10 and 11 links connected to one another.
